ICEPaC is now CUIRE: I’ve moved from Columbia University to New York University. The website is taking the A train downtown with me. Columbia will continue to host these pages, but I won’t be maintaining or updating them. You can find the current site at injuryepi.org. My new contact information is Charles.DiMaggio@nyumc.org

Injuries and disasters exact an enormous toll on population health and well-being. Public health practitioners and epidemiologists can contribute to controlling and preventing the physical and social consequences of injuries and disasters by collecting, analyzing and interpreting data to help guide control and preparedness efforts. As population health scientists we are challenged to more broadly define injuries to include behavioral and mental health outcomes, utilize non-traditional and forward-thinking research methods, and structure innovative control and treatment programs based on evidence.

I hope to help contribute to this process by presenting access to background material, disaster and injury-related studies, recent presentations and lectures, descriptions of and links to related sites and epidemiological tools. I also use this site to host a number of workshops I teach on epidemiology and related methods.
